An age-hardening copper alloy made of&#x2014;as expressed in each case in weight %&#x2014;0.4% to a maximum of 2% cobalt which is partially replaceable by nickel, 0.1% through 0.5% beryllium, optionally 0.03% through 0.5% zirconium, 0.005% through 0.1% magnesium and possibly a maximum of 0.15% of at least one element from the group including niobium, manganese, tantalum, vanadium, titanium, chromium, cerium and hafnium. The remainder is copper inclusive of production-conditioned impurities and usual processing additives. This copper alloy is used as the material for producing casting molds, in particular for the sleeves of continuous casting rolls as components of a two-roll casting installation.

An electrically conductive metal tape for manufacturing electrical contact components, in particular plug connectors, having a base material made of a copper alloy having nickel proportions between 1.0 and 4.0% by weight, silicon proportions of 0.08 to 1.0% by weight, tin proportions between 0.02 and 1.0% by weight, zinc proportions of 0.01 to 2.0% by weight, zirconium proportions of 0.005 to 0.2% by weight and silver proportions between 0.02 to 0.5% by weight, the coating consisting of a tin-silver alloy having a silver proportion between 1.0 and 3.8% by weight. Particularly positive properties are displayed by a metal tape whose base material is made of a copper alloy having proportions of nickel between 1.4 and 1.7% by weight, silicon from 0.2 to 0.35% by weight, tin between 0.02 and 0.3% by weight, as well as zinc from 0.01 to 0.3% by weight.

An arrangement for pouring a pourable melt made up of a copper alloy, which comprises a melting furnace, pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis, having a pouring tube which discharges pourable melt and through which the pourable melt can be conveyed under a shielding gas atmosphere to a filling end of a launder and can be conveyed through an outlet of the launder to a mold. The filling end of the launder is coverable by a hood that seals off the pourable melt from the atmosphere, the pouring tube engaging, with interposition of a seal arrangement, in pivotably movable fashion into the hood. As a result, the pourable melt can be transferred into the launder under a shielding gas atmosphere upon pivoting of the melting furnace and the pouring tub.

A hardenable copper alloy, suitable as a material for manufacturing casting rolls and casting wheels that are subjected to changing temperature stresses, is disclosed. The hardenable copper alloy comprises 1.0 to 2.6% nickel, 0.1 to 0.45% beryllium, and the remainder of copper, inclusive of impurities resulting from manufacturing and the customary processing additives, and has a Brinell hardness of at least 200 and an electric conductivity of over 38 m/.OMEGA. mm.sup.2.
